There is only one true Jesus, the Jewish Yeshua

Parashah Beha'alotcha - “When you Kindle"

Torah: Numbers (Bamidbar) 8:1 – 12:16

Haftarah: Zechariah 2:14 – 4:7

Pirkei Avot: Chapter 1

Right after the dedication of the Tabernacle, after this spiritual high point, people complained about not having meat to eat. It was true then and it is true now, after an uplifting spiritual event - such as the infilling with the Holy Spirit at Shavuot - our humanity is the most vulnerable to fall pray to the Adversary. God supplied to them manna from heaven, a perfect food with all the vitamins, minerals, proteins and calories needed to sustain life perfectly, but people’s taste buds were not satisfied, the flesh wanted something else.

To parallel this with our Messianic life, God gave us the Manna from heaven, Yeshua HaMoshiach, the Bread of Life, and He also gave us the Ruach Hachodesh with an uplifting infilling event at Shavuot, but some of us are not satisfied – it is our flesh, it is our human nature that surfaces its ugly character. We want something else, but we are warned. In the second letter to the Corinthians the apostle Shaul writes, chapter 11:3-4: “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Havah by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity {of devotion} to Moshiach. For if one comes and preaches another Yeshua, whom we have not preached, or you receive a different Spirit which you have not received, or a different Gospel which you have not accepted, you bear him well enough.” 

God was not pleased with the people of Israel’s request and He will not be pleased with us if we stray away from the purity of the Gospel. The many denominations that preach another Yeshua are a testimony that the Adversary is at work and we must be on guard. The apostle not only warned us but also gave us the remedy, Ephesians 6:11: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” And that “full armor” is study - both Tanakh and Brith Chadashah, prayer, fellowship and mitzvoth centered around the teachings of Yeshua.
